I’ve never actually run a road race before but they seem awesome! Right now I’m in the process of starting to run long distances again and soon I’ll be looking for an upcoming race to sign up to motivate me even more!

The most fun I ever had at a road race was last year’s Girls on the Run Race.. I ran it with my “little sister” from the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston, and we both had such a blast together.

The Covered Bridges Half Marathon was incredible! I ran it for my bachelorette weekend. Not only was the setting gorgeous, but my girls went all out and dressed me up in a bridal veil, etc. It was such a fun race!

My first 5 mile race was the Squantum
5 miler and I loved it because at the time it was the longest distance race I’d done. Felt great sense if accomplishment when I finished. The race also had perfect mix of hills and scenic views. I live races that go through neighborhoods. And great after party at marina bay following!

I’ve run the Boston Marathon 3 years in a row and despite the challenging course, the amazing crowds, cheering sections throughout the ENTIRE course, support, and finish line anticipation make it the most fun race for me!!

I adore Cartwheel! It saves me tons on the healthy food options my local Super Target sells. If I won the gift card I’d buy a Softshell Jacket and some of their Semi Fit Pants. I am not really a fan of super fit yoga pants l, the semi fit pants look more my speed.
